The inside and outside of the tent seem to be two worlds.

There were many people outside the black cloth tent, there were many people gathered, and a few people were whispering, discussing whether Xie Bald could survive the crisis safely today; there were also many passers-by who looked at the black cloth tent set up on the outer street of Baiyun Temple, and also stopped to investigate; the two Taoist children of Baiyun Temple greeted Jia Yuan familiarly, and Jia Yuan also told the reason for the incident, so these two Taoist children did not go to guard the door for the time being, but stared at the black cloth tent with the surrounding people.

Inside the black cloth tent, the sunlight shines through the gaps, there are starlight dots on the paved table, and there is a heavy cloth tent as a cover, only to hear that it is noisy outside, but because the black cloth tent cannot see the outside, I don't know how many people have gathered.

However, if the Song family's wife can't be satisfied today, I'm afraid that Xie Bald will have to get out of Qingzhou City in front of so many people.

In the confined space at this moment, there are only the wife of the Song family and their personal maids Sandalwood, Lao Dao and Qin Chuan. Due to the small size of the black cloth tent, there was not much space other than the paving table in front of me. In particular, the lady of the Song family was too large and occupied a lot of places, and the rest of the people could only lean forward to hear each other's whispers.

However, Qin Chuan's eyes were not on the Song family's wife, but on the side of the maid Sandalwood. Since the two were not far apart at the moment, Qin Chuan could smell the faint fragrance on her body, and just like her name, there was indeed a smell of sandalwood. As she exhaled, the smell grew stronger and stronger in the closed black cloth tent.

With the help of the little sunlight that comes through, you can see that sandalwood has a faint freckles and delicate facial features, but due to long-term labor, there are faint traces of chilblains in many places in the cold winter.

"It's good-looking! It's really good-looking! I can't imagine that a maid of the Song family is born so exquisitely, and the young lady of the Song family can't be allured to the country and the city. Qin Chuan stared at Sandalwood tightly, as if he wanted to find out why she came out.

Unexpectedly, the small movements among the four people were also seen by the wife of the Song family: "Ahem, you young man, you don't know where to put your eyes, don't insult the name of a shocking master, otherwise you will be dragged to the state guard and treated as an obscene person, and you will inevitably be beaten." ”

Probably feeling Qin Chuan's scorching eyes, Sandalwood also glanced at Qin Chuan fiercely: "Hmph, I didn't expect you to be the same at your age, or the master is right, men don't have a good thing, if you stare at the two of me again, I have to gouge out your eyes." ”

Seeing these two people talking to each other, Qin Chuan was not in a hurry, and said with a smile on his face: "Hey, this is strange, I see a naturally beautiful person, let me take a few more looks, is this also a crime? If so, I am willing to accept it. ”

Hearing Qin Chuan praise the two, the wife of the Song family also eased down and said jokingly: "It is said that Tong Yan is unscrupulous, I see that you are a small ghost, and I naturally know my own appearance, in fact, you are looking at my maid Sandalwood, right? If she likes Qingzhou City, then it is not impossible to stay here." When I go back to Qingzhou City to visit relatives in the future, I will still have someone to accompany me. ”

Hearing that the main family was going to leave him in Qingzhou City, Sandalwood blushed suddenly: "Madam, he is only in his early tens, how can he know anything, don't leave me alone in Qingzhou City, I am originally from Huzhou, no one knows each other here, and I can't hurt my homesickness." I have to accompany you back to Huzhou, otherwise I will be bullied by those people. ”

Hearing that she was going back to Huzhou City, the lady of the Song family sighed, frowning and not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Lao Dao did not speak, put down the purple clay pot in his hand, and sat in front of the paving.

The lady of the Song family was the first to speak: "It is said that the master of the door has to respond, today I am cheeky and begging the master to send a hexagram, my Wang Ningfeng is grateful to Dade, I will worship the Buddha every day, always light the lamp, every year of disaster, I will open a warehouse to give food." ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan secretly thought to himself: It turns out that the wife of the Song family is called Wang Ningfeng, but it is not enough for you to worship the Buddha every day, although we are said to be a Taoist temple in the wilderness, but we are cultivating Taoist Heavenly Monarch, and the giants of martial arts rivers and lakes such as Taixu Palace, or Baiyun Temple in Qingzhou City are cultivating the same kind of Tao, and we have to worship Taoist Heavenly Monarch from time to time.

Lao Dao listened attentively to what Wang Ningfeng said, and asked unhurriedly: "You can tell the cause and effect of what you are asking for, so that I can resolve them one by one." Don't be in a hurry, I'll listen carefully. ”

Sandalwood stood next to him and looked at the sad appearance of the main family, and immediately took out a handkerchief made of silk from his arms and wiped his tears, and waited until he stabilized his mind for a moment, Wang Ningfeng told the truth one by one:

"Our Wang family has been a big family in Huzhou since ancient times, and I was born in a partial house, but I rely on the reputation of the family, and others dare not slack off. When I was eighteen years old, my parents ordered me to marry Song Jingliang, the eldest son of the Song family, a small local family in Huzhou. Because my mother's family is a local family in Huzhou, my mother-in-law was polite to me at the beginning, and I and Song Jingliang were also respectful, but every time I was pregnant for three months, I always had a fetal abortion, so that after a few years, I was bloated and my temper began to become hot, so the people of Song Mansion called me a tigress. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Ningfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "In Huzhou, if you can't give birth to a child within a few years, it's a big deal, but because of my mother's family, the Song family doesn't dare to take me off, but I can't stand the gossip of others, Song Jingliang has found a concubine again, and passes the time in her room day and night, and often slacks off on poetry and songs. ”

When Lao Dao heard this, he seemed to empathize and asked: "Then you and my senior brother, but because of the fortune-telling, you smashed his shop, and even injured him, leaving him in bed for several months?"

Wang Ningfeng said: "That day, I came out of the Baiyun Temple, because of the matter of asking for a son, I was depressed, and your senior brother said that he wanted to count me as a hexagram, thinking that there was nothing to do, it was better to ask for guidance from a master here." I don't remember how your senior brother was so flattering that day, he accepted me a hundred taels of silver, and swore that if there was no joy in a year, he could smash his stall. ”

"When I returned to my mother's house in Huzhou City that year, my sisters-in-law looked down on me because I was not happy, and my mother from a partial house was worried because of this, and I thought of your senior brother patting his chest and assuring him, so he lied to my mother and said that he was happy...... That year, on New Year's Day, my mother finally had a good laugh. But after a few months, I didn't have the slightest sign of joy, and I didn't have a way to tell my mother the truth, she was angry with the old man, and invited the bandits in the martial arts rivers and lakes to find Qingzhou City and smash the stall, hurting people. By the time I found out about this, your brother had been bedridden for months. ”

At this moment, Qin Chuan suddenly asked, "Then why are you not asking for a son, but for a career?"
